Bohemian Half Moon Bay brunch wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

This stunning boho Half Moon Bay wedding gives us all the feels

Angelica and Brian’s Half Moon Bay wedding had a stunning coastal casual chic wedding with musical influences. The reception was (one of my favorites!) a Sunday brunch wedding featuring chicken and waffles, crab cakes, and spinach florentine benedicts. Don’t miss the embroidery hoops centerpieces, tambourine bouquets, bud vases, flower stands, and even coffee beans as decor. Oh, and the GORGEOUS ceremony backdrop! Instead of champagne toasting flutes, they got personalized beer steins and drank Not For Sale Calf-eine Coffee Milk Stout, a nonprofit that works against human trafficking worldwide. Let’s see the whole delicious and gorgeous event…

Rock opera wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

This couple wrote an original ROCK OPERA for their music-loving wedding

This pair met while playing in their respective bands. After a proposal on that same stage, they decided to write an entire original rock opera album to use as their ceremony. With back-up singers, their own band members, a giant group song, the most explosive kiss ever, and even Statler and Waldorf heckling from the balcony, how can this not be one of our favorite weddings ever? Come see the pink hair, the fabulous dress, the donut desserts, and of course, the amazing concert shots.

Spend some time with Carolyn & Mike’s “Time in a Bottle”-themed wedding (with musical surprise!)

A custom gold gown, a gorgeous Chicago loft space, and a “Time in a Bottle” theme… this wedding is chic, luminous, and artfully planned by a bride who is one of our fave vendors! Come see the clock details, scream singing reception, personal music touches, and of course… a super special musical surprise for the groom at the ceremony that is a must-see.

Alise & Adam’s intimate San Francisco surprise elopement

These cuties met on Tinder! After the bride’s experiences as a wedding hairstylist, the whole idea of a wedding wasn’t for her, so these two took off to San Francisco’s city hall to get married and surprise all their friends. With only four people in attendance (and one cheeky officiant!), they made it official. Don’t miss the purple hair, glittery gold dress, and amazing scenery.

Amanda & Meghan’s glittery queer wedding

Two dresses, two ladies, and many ways to love this wedding. Don’t miss the emotional vows, the perfect-for-them readings, the shiny aisle decor, and the pet-themed cake. But the dance party at the reception may just trump it all — as long as you don’t split your pants while you’re dipping it low!

Sarah & Nathaniel’s “A Love For All Of Time and Space” wedding

A life-size TARDIS, a TARDIS cake, a Doctor Who officiant, and loads of sci-fi details… you space-theme lovers are in for a treat. Add in the convertible gold dress, the DIYed heart backdrop, and the heart-melting father/daughter waltz, and you’ll see how sweet sci-fi can be. Oh, and this bride has some SERIOUSLY good anecdotes for taking on too much and asking for help.
